    The mindset for a startup founder is to avoid failure as long as possible instead of trying to succeed :p

    Keep a growth mindset (do not forget the power of unlearning too to accelerate learning & growth) :-)

    @swapratim_roy excellent book by Carol Dweck on Growth mindset I'd recommend if you haven't read it

    @madeleine_nichols yes, the book was a life changer for me

    "Women are not supposed to work, they only should work if they want to, in their free (from a happy family life) time". The best advice ever... And the hard one to follow.

    I was advised that I should establish a work-life balance. My life was always work-oriented because I saw myself as very deficient when I first started, but after a while, I realized that this started to tire me and my motivation at work gradually decreased. After my working hours, I started to be more practical in my own business by taking time for my own personal development and learning new skills.

    @udayparmar Yeah, prioritizing yourself is important, thank you Uday.🤓

    'separate yourself from your work' it's been a journey, but developing ways to disconnect how I value and see myself from my experiences in a work setting has been a game-changer

    Science isn't about finding the right answers, it's about testing hypothesis of what might be the right answers. Apply that to life, knowing right doesn't exist, and do what makes you fulfilled and happy.

    The finest advise I ever had was to believe in myself and know that anything is possible if I put in the necessary effort.

    There are two (from books I've read): 1) When presented with a difficult choice, choose “expansion” over happiness. Don’t ask “Will this make me happy?”, instead ask “Will this choice enlarge me or diminish me?” We’re terrible at predicting what will make us happy. Our definition of happiness almost always boils down to our narrow preferences for security and control. Instead choose growth. 2) Nobody knows enough to be a pessimist. Life is too long to lose hope. Whenever you can, choose hope over cynicism. P.S. I like to keep a record (in the form of a yearly article) of things that influence my perspective on life, if you have some time to spare, you can check this out https://readwritebreathe.substac... :)

    Dont, overthink. Just do it. That is the first step to success or failure. Even failure happens when you try only

    @udayparmar Sure, thanks. It's a Slack app that let you generate instant Google meeting links right from Slack with the /meet command and share it with others in the group/dm/channel. It is FREE to use, developed with privacy in mind, and doesn't require any authorization to access Slack data.

    That's great to hear! Can you give an example of a specific situation where keeping an open mind and never stopping learning helped you?

    Whatever you do give it 100%.
    I've stuck to Simon Sinek's "Start with Why" if the why isn't sitting together then one needs to relook at things. And, of course "Stay Curious"

    My parents told me to have fun. At fist glance this is easy, but when you try to have just fun it doesn't work :( to have fun, you have to work hard first and get familiar with the topic, and once you are a master of the job, you can start enjoying and having fun... Now I know, that I need to be my best version and do hard to have fun :)
